From what I've seen on some streams (I have yet to encounter a Xerath past release week in the wild) he can do ludicrous amounts of damage if played right. The only thing keeping him from being OP imo is that his W roots him for quite some time while he goes in and out of his W. Otherwise he has a decent kit that makes him a late-game monster in comparison to most other AP carries.


Thanks to The Nameless Bard and Vavena for the sigs!

Check out the user Ehomda.

Basically what's OP about Xerath is that you basically CAN'T build to counter him (**********ing 70% spell pen???? or whatever it is lol).

This ****. It's like frikkin' AOE true damage. You just have to kill him fast. Oh wait, you have to get in range of mage chains to do that. Wait, it gets 1000 range with locus of power? Nope, you're boned.

I'm not saying he's impossible to stop, but his kit is ******ed good.

We just need one tournament where one from winning team plays Xerath and its new metagame for AP ranked mid.

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

I have been playing him at the moment (damm free week taking ma Olaf!) and i enjoy him a lot.

His range is compensatet for the fact that his late game damage is smaller compared to ohter caster.
Thanks to me and Elleeeeeka (love that name) for my sigs.

It's not even his mpen that makes him so strong. Locus is a nice ability and all, but his QWE combo gives him ******** aoe burst. The crazy range of locus is just a bonus really...

Thanks to Anal Samurai for the sig!

I feel like Graves/Vayne/Ezreal have some edge on him with their blinks. Especially Ezreal if he's being AP for some reason...

With Void Staff+ Locus of Power you hit ~58% penetration, not 70%. Simply because that is how the scaling works with %pen.

Xerath's counter is high mobility disablers like Talon; basically gap closers with a CC. Oh and being out positioned. That will get Xerath shut down quite quickly.

If someone can't stay alive in lane for 6:30 seconds on their own then they got problems.
